These data are reviewed semi-annually, compared to competency-based developmental benchmarks, and then reported back individually by your mentor in a radar-plot format (see the example shown). A learning plan is collaboratively developed and also reviewed at the next evaluation meeting.

Guidance in career mentoring (elective selection, fellowship advice, etc.) is available from several hospitalists, generalists, and various subspecialists. We are working closely with the American Board of Internal Medicine and the Pacific Northwest Consortium for Outcomes in Resident Education (PNWCORE) to develop the next generation of residency evaluation assessments.
